I have a question that I was hoping you or someone else here would be able to answer. I very recently ordered my Tellstick Net, but haven't received it yet. I still went ahead and purchased the Remotestick android app early since I plan to use the product(s) with Tasker. During my preparations, I decided to try and create a floor plan of my apartment, but stumbled upon an issue.

What dimensions are used or recommended for the floorplan image? Since I haven't gotten an account yet I can't really use the Remotestick app for much yet so I couldn't really figure anything out on my own. I suppose the image will be stretched if too small or large, so I wanted to make it the exact size used for a smoother appearance.

Hi, I had the same problem, Possibly it depends on the native resolution of your device. I have xperia Z w/fullHD.

I used the following:
1. Floorplanner.com (as suggested by remotestick). Then exported the plan to A3 sized pdf.
2. Used http://www.zamzar.com/convert/pdf-to-png/ to convert the file to a png.
3. Cropped away the edges in msphoto editor
4. nice resolution and good image quality for the floorplan.

Thanks, Lars. This sorted itself out for me. I went a similar route with satisfying results. I now have another couple of questions, though.

Within the RS app I have set the sensor polling interval to 15 minutes. My 2 questions are:

- Does the Tasker variable(s) update with every poll?
- If I've been disconnected from Wifi and mobile data and missed one or several polls, will RS perform a poll once I have connection or will it wait X minutes first?

I ask because I have a "morning profile" that checks the outside temperature and modifies my alarm time based upon temperature. It's crucial that the temperature is as recent as possible.

EDIT: Also - I get the "Remotestick has stopped" message almost every time I exit the application (by home button). What's happening here?

Yes, RS should send updates to Tasker every time. If this doesn't seem to be the case, go into the new Debug menu (under Settings) and activate logging. Then go back here after a while to see if variables was sent to Tasker as expected. Don't forget to deactivate this feature later to avoid using up a lot of disk space.
Remotestick does not listen to re-connection events. It will poll with the interval specified. So, it will "wait" for X minutes where X is between 0 and the polling interval.

Thanks for the clarification! Could you by any chance make it an option to A) have Remotestick always poll when a connection occurs or B) make the poll interval controllable through Tasker? Any of these two would solve my problem, but I would prefer option A. By the way - I remember seeing a site where one could submit suggestions. If you prefer it that way, I will gladly "resuggest" this over there if you can direct me there.

EDIT: Not sure if the suggestion system was Remotestick or another app.
